The injury occurred when Richardson's hand got caught in a teammate's jersey, causing his pinkie to bend at an awkward angle. The extent of the injury and how long he will be out is still uncertain, leaving fans and the coaching staff concerned about the team's upcoming games.
What Happened?
Coach Steve Steichen revealed that Richardson will undergo further evaluations to determine the severity of the injury and the timeline for his return.

About the Organizations Mentioned
Indianapolis Colts
## Overview The **Indianapolis Colts** are a professional American football franchise competing in the National Football League (NFL), where they play in the American Football Conference (AFC) South Division[1][5]. The organization’s primary activity is fielding a team that participates in the NFL’s regular season, playoffs, and, when successful, the Super Bowl. Beyond the field, the Colts operate as a major sports business, engaging in marketing, community outreach, and technological innovation—common among modern NFL franchises. ## History The Colts’ roots trace back to 1953, when the team was established in Baltimore, Maryland, as the Baltimore Colts[1][5]. The franchise originated from the remnants of the defunct Dallas Texans, with Carroll Rosenbloom as the principal owner[7]. The team quickly became a powerhouse, thanks to legendary players like Johnny Unitas, Jim Parker, Raymond Berry, and Lenny Moore, and Hall of Fame coach Weeb Ewbank[5][8]. The Colts won NFL championships in 1958, 1959, and 1968, with the 1958 title game—a dramatic overtime victory over the New York Giants—dubbed “The Greatest Game Ever Played” for its role in popularizing pro football[5][7][8]. Financial struggles and declining attendance led to the team’s controversial relocation to Indianapolis in 1984, where it was renamed the Indianapolis Colts[1][5]. The early years in Indianapolis were marked by inconsistency, but the franchise found stability under owner Jim Irsay, son of Robert Irsay, who acquired the team in 1997[1]. ## Key Achievements The Colts are one of only two NFL teams to win a Super Bowl in two different cities—Baltimore (Super Bowl V, 1971) and Indianapolis (Super Bowl XLI, 2007)[2][5].
